We are excited to announce that we are expanding at Lund & Associates to include a consulting division to offer services relating to the planning for and actual sale of a business at a maximum value.
Valuing the business
Preparing the business for sale to maximize value
Minimizing risk factors for a purchaser that affect the ability to sell the business
Tax planning relating to the sale of a business
Preparing information documents to assist in the sale process
Identifying potential buyers and approaching the buyers
Assisting with the negotiation of terms to the point of a Letter of Intent

Liaison with lawyers to assist in preparation of agreements
We have developed expertise in this area over several years as we have been working with owner-managers right through their business cycle from start-up to eventual sale of the business.
In most cases planning for the sale of a business should begin several years before the planned sale date.
If you, or anyone you know, are interested in discussing how we can help you prepare for the Sale of a Business, please contact Brad Lund at bradl@lundandassociates.com .
